Marketing Companies: Chicago

Among marketing companies, Chicago's Plan B is the agency alternative.

Let's take a moment to eulogize the countless marketing companies Chicago has birthed over the years. Because, as of June 2009, advertising is officially dead.

Or so some muckety-muck from one of the "BIG ACRONYM" agencies announced at some self-important speech not long ago. Yes, yes, advertising is dead. Sure. We'll buy that. We're not sure exactly what our clients are paying us for, then, but - heck, why not? It's not hard to believe if you've ever set foot in any of the legion "me too" marketing firms Chicago seems to attract like barnacles on Navy Pier.

Ugh. The word alone is so doughy, so blah, it gives me agita: marketing companies. Chicago is so rife with them and their smug slick puffiness, it can be tough to breathe in the vicinity of certain high-rises.

That's why we started Plan B. Because we saw this "death" coming years ago. We could already smell the rot from our desks deep in the bowels of some of the biggest marketing firms in Chicago. We saw the writing on the colon wall, and we knew we had to get out.

So now Plan B is one of the fastest growing and innovative independent marketing companies in Chicago. How did we escape the same morbid end so many other "BIG ACRONYM" agencies seem fated to?

Marketing Firms: Chicago

Simple: by delivering the same level of creativity and strategic innovation, without all the hassles of a "big agency" relationship. Full-service, unbundled, on-demand. Nimble. Efficient. And far less expensive than all those "BIG ACRONYM" marketing firms Chicago can't seem to rid itself of.

In short, we do just about everything differently (some would say better) than those other marketing companies in Chicago. Hence the tagline: the agency alternative.

As in: an alternative to constant haggling, cost over-runs, and bland seen-it-before retread creative. A balanced alternative to the black/white approach that so many agencies take-either they're so old-school that they ignore digital media, or they're up to their eyeballs in Tweets and they lack any conception of advertising tradition.

An alternative you can count on. An alternative that works.

This is Plan B. The agency alternative.
